Mount Sinai Doctors on Staten Island provides specialized care for conditions that affect the colon, rectum, anus, and digestive tract. We treat common conditions as well as more complex problems, including colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease.

Comprehensive Colorectal Care

Our specialists diagnose and treat colorectal conditions. We offer both surgical and nonsurgical care for:

• Colon and rectal cancer
• Colon polyps and colorectal cancer screening
• Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
• Diverticulitis
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Pelvic floor disorders
• Rectal prolapse
• Hemorrhoids
• Anal fissures and fistulas
• Anorectal disorders
• Anal and appendix cancers
• Neuroendocrine tumors
• Small bowel conditions and cancers

Advanced Surgical Treatment

When surgery is needed, our colorectal surgeons choose an approach based on your condition and needs. Options may include laparoscopic or robotic surgery, which use small incisions, as well as traditional open surgery.

Minimally invasive techniques may be used for procedures such as colectomy and colorectal resection, allowing for smaller incisions and a potentially shorter recovery compared with traditional open surgery.

Specialized Care for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Mount Sinai has extensive experience treating inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Surgery may be recommended when medicines and other treatments do not work well enough or when complications develop.

If you have ulcerative colitis and need surgery, your care team may consider a procedure called ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, also known as J-pouch surgery. If you have Crohn’s disease, your surgeon will choose an approach based on the specific challenges of this long-term condition.

Personalized, Multidisciplinary Care

Colorectal conditions may require care from several types of specialists. When needed, your care team may include experts in digestive diseases (gastroenterology), cancer care (oncology), medical imaging (radiology), and the study of tissue and disease (pathology). You also have access to the expertise and resources of the wider Mount Sinai Health System.

At Mount Sinai Doctors on Staten Island, our goal is to provide advanced colorectal care close to home. We tailor your treatment plan to your diagnosis, symptoms, and individual needs.
